Deep End was a short-lived
supergroup founded by
guitarist Pete Townshend of
The Who and featuring
David Gilmour of
Pink Floyd. The group also included drummer Simon Phillips, bassist
Chucho Merchan, percussionist
Jody Linscott, keyboardist
John 'Rabbit' Bundrick, backing vocalists
Billy Nicholls,
Cleveland Watkiss, and
Chyna, and a five-piece brass ensemble called
The Kickhorns. The group performed two
1985 charity concerts at
London's
Brixton Academy (a third was cancelled due to poor ticket sales), which were later released as the album
Deep End Live!; a concert at the
MIDEM trade fair in
France, and appeared on
The Tube.
Townshend's daughter Emma performed as a guest vocalist at the London concerts.
